British Army’s Canine Hero Survives Taliban to Help Other Dogs

A stray dog that helped save the lives of two soldiers in Afghanistan and survived capture by the Taliban is a canine hero that now tours Britain with his new owner raising money to help save other Afghan animals.

Brin was adopted by the British army when he was found starving and abandoned outside a base in Helmand in 2010.

The soldiers discovered he had an in-born talent for sniffing out danger and soon he began accompanying patrols around the area.

It was during these patrols that he saved the livesof two soldiers when he barked to alert them to a hidden bomb that would have killed them.
